Re: too soon for an oil change?
Changed mine today at 520 miles. Friend of mine owns a quick oil change place and lets me come in 1st thing in the morning and change my own oil at his business.
It was certainly a different experience from what I am used to and he had one of his guys shadow me since they have never changed the oil on a 07 Tundra.
Had to purchase the oil filter or oil change kit from the dealership and we put in 5w20 Mobil 1. The oil was very clean in color but the filter did have some very small metal shavings in it. This is not a bad thing since it means that the filter was doing its job.
I am not one for waiting past 500 miles to change the oil on a new engine. I will probably change it again at 1000 miles and then I will go to the factory recommended 5000 mile interval.
My buddy that owns the business says that he changes his oil after 100 miles and then again at 500 miles to try and get all of the metal shavings out.
Just my 2 cents.
